Doug Tallamy is an expert on wildlife and insects. He always encourages people to create gardens with native(当地的)plants.
His new book, Nature's Best Hope: How You Can Save the World in Your Own Yard, which is aimed at middle schoolers, came out on Earth Day of 2023. The book follows Tallamy’s another book from 1999:Nature’s Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation(保护) that Starts in Your Yard.
He hopes the new book will carry its message into classrooms around the US.“The idea is that kids are the future of our planet,” he said.
The new book lists easy changes that kids can make at home to create better living places for insects and birds. The book includes easy projects like building a “bee hotel” out of an empty metal pot and pieces of paper.” Or you might want to cover window wells(窗井) so little animals do not fall into them. Or you just plant a flower. It’s free and easy to watch it grow, and it makes a big difference,” Tallamy said.
Tai Montanarella helps lead school and out-of- school programs for New York Botanical Garden. She said Tallamy's new book is helpful to spread the idea that Americans can do things at home to improve the environment.
Tallamy starts his new book by asking readers to take a few minutes to look closely at their yards. “Nature is everywhere. That’s a good thing because human beings like you and me wouldn't last a day without it.” Tallamy writes. “That's what this book is about—how to create a yard that is a real part of the natural world.”
24. Who is Tallamy’s new book written for?
A. Children with a garden.
B. People who like gardening.
C. Students at middle school.
25. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Why Tallamy decided to write the new book.
B. What changes: children can make at home.
C. When people can plant: a flower in the yard.
26. What did Tai Montanarella think of Tallamy’s new book?
A. Useful. B. Difficult. C. Humorous.
27. Why does the writer write this passage?
A. To teach readers to write books.
B. To encourage readers to build yards.
C. To share a book with readers.
C
Science shows why we trust people who are confident. Imagine this: one person tells a lie confidently, while another says something true in a hesitant voice. Which person would you trust?
According to British scientist Dean Burnett, humans are far more likely to believe information expressed confidently by a confident person or in some other ways using confident language. "Humans trusting confident people over those who are more uncertain is a known thing," wrote Burnett for Science Focus magazine. "When two people are trying to make a decision but each person says different things, confidently expressed arguments are seen as passing on better information, which decides the decision."
Why is this the case? As Burnett said, humans are social animals. In our ancient past, most of our information about the world came from our tribe(部落), in other words, the people around us. So, if ancient humans heard someone confidently saying "There's a tiger coming" , believing what that person said could save our lives.
On a more personal level, we use our own experiences to understand what other people do and say. That's how our brain works. When we are confident, it's for good reason. Therefore , we believe that when someone else is being confident, they must have good reason, too.
However, we need to realize that confidently expressed information may be more persuasive(有说服力的), but that doesn't mean it's correct. As Burnett wrote, we are living in a more and more different world. Trusting very confident people without checking the facts can lead to "unexpected results".
28．What’s meaning of the underlined word "hesitant" in Paragraph 1?
A．自信的. B．犹豫的. C．积极的.
29．How did the writer start this passage?
A．By asking a question. B．By offering a suggestion.
C．By telling a story.
30．Which of the following person will people be most likely to trust?
A．The person who is from the tribe.
B．The person who says something true uncertainly.
C．The person who tells a lie confidently.
31．What's the main purpose of this passage?
A．To advise people to tell lies confidently.
B．To show why people make friends with confident people.
C．To explain why we trust people who are confident.

Each different part of China has its own special forms of traditional art. These usually try to show the things that are important in life，such as love，beauty and family. The most common things，from paper to clay to bamboo，are turned into objects of beauty.
According to Chinese history, sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming. He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble. Today, sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations. They are made of bamboo and covered with paper. When the lanterns are lit, they slowly rise into the air like small hot-air balloons for all to see. They are seen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes.
Paper cutting has been around for over 1,500 years. Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do. The paper, usually red, is folded before it is cut with scissors. The most common pictures are flowers, animals, and things about Chinese history. During the Spring Festival, they are put on windows, doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year.
Chinese clay（黏土） art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real. The pieces are usually cute children or lively characters from a Chinese fairy tale or historical story. The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air-dry. After drying, they are fired at a very high heat. They are then polished before being painted well. It takes several weeks to complete everything. These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty.
